Introduction-.This course is to introduce students to the basic concepts of evolutionary theory. Students will understand that organisms vary between organisms and this allows for natural selection. Unit Objectives-Visit online videos and answer question about evolution and natural selection.
-Create a PowerPoint, over the various resources, on vocabulary, including definitions.
-Complete the Virtual Lab on natural selection.
